1. An initial archaeological study of the Marriott Hotel site was completed in 1998. See Hunter Research, Inc., “Phase I Archaeological Investigation, Proposed Marriott Hotel Conference Center, City of Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey” (report on file, New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, Trenton, 1998). An expanded article on the Coxon waster deposit is to appear in Trenton Potteries, the Newsletter of the Potteries of Trenton Society, Volume 3, Issues 1 and 2. A full report on all aspects of the archaeological monitoring at the Marriott Hotel site, including a detailed inventory of the Coxon ceramic waste, is forthcoming in 2003. 2. In the case of this deposit, waste was carted just over a mile from the Coxon kilns down to the mouth of Assunpink Creek on the Delaware River, where it was used as fill. Much of the Delaware River shoreline below Assunpink Creek, especially in Lamberton, is composed of similar waste from a range of Trenton’s industrial potteries. 3.
